pfSense 2.5 backup file format ( .xml vs .php)

[Ghost 0]

I need someone to shed light on this topic for me. I'm now getting .php instead of .xml files when I backup pfSense 2.5. I'm a bit confused because the backup/restore section of pfsense 2.5 --- rectangular blue box shows, "download the configuration as .xml." Is this a glitch or a new file backup format?

@ghost-0 : It's sending over an xml file.
Test using another browser ?

@ghost-0 Did you opened the file, what is the content of the .php file? maybe just a extension naming issue.

I was getting "diag.backup.php" file when a backup was generated. It appears this was a temporary issue. I'm now getting the normal file format (.xml) after a reboot.
